Christmas Poem by Michael P. Johnson

A greater gift could no one give
Salvation as a child
Given of God so man could live
On earth so meek and mild


No palace just a humble shed
No servants gathered round
No place to rest the Saviour’s head
But straw upon the ground


This world has need of changing fast
More wrong is done than right
Seldom thinking of Christmas passed
When man first saw The Light


Through love dawned forth Salvation’s Light
That all the world could see
God’s mighty arm came not to fight
But set the captive free


Emanuel! God’s Lamp on earth
He’d come but for this reason
God’s humble Lamb of virgin birth
What a joyful season


All people now on earth I pray
Will lift their voice and sing
For born to us on Christmas day
Was Christ our Lord and King


To children seeking more than toys
The Lord gives Heaven’s seal
What wondrous joy for girls and boys
When Christ becomes them real


Heaven and earth will kneel one day
To Him they once ignored
Then every tongue is bound to say
That Jesus Christ is! Lord.
